I thought the Rad would cool better on the outside and it mounted farily easily. I left the 2 80mm fans on the inside because I didn't think it would hurt the 120mm on the outside...

Dan ... all three fans are blowing out ... .. yea without the flash on it looks a lot better. I'd like to get the TT AquaBay M1 link or the Tank m3... but I don't think the pump would be strong enough for both ... it's a low end water kit anyways ...

Yeah that AquaBay looks cool. Maybe you could get just that and get a nice Swiftech pump for it. They move a fair amout of water.

within regards to the case -- antec/chieftec/chenming/aspire all make cases with that same basic design so maybe you had seen one of those. there is nothing basic about the cases though they are all top notch (i have an antec)

That's true Intel ... there are all based on the chenming I believe with different front panels but the basic design is the same ....

sorry to threadcrap but -- im tellin' you guys for the price these cases cant be beat. i mean the side panel with the massive window is NOT flimsy at all and i even cut big chunks out of my top panel, front and rear panel and its still SOLID (the top i modded with a custom window/fan, rear i modded to have a 120mm exhaust fan and the front was modded to accomodate my water cooling)

They are a really sweet case in looks and price, mine cost me $120 cnd with a psu. I think thats cheap for such a sweet case. I love it, I like their size and the window. The only thing I wish it had is a removable mother board tray.

*sorry for threadcrapping*

djbbenn -- "we cant alwats get what we want"

imo the removable mobo traywould be nice but is not neccessary as there is plenty of room to work in there and there are no sharp edges to worry about.

Ya...it would be nice, but thats the thing with these cases, they are so big. And you right about not having any sharp edges...I havn't cut myself on this case yet. It seems every other case I had I cut myself
